put up and backed both these two exactly 3 weeks ago.
Ray Arturo 25/1 today 3 places with BOG, way way better than it's finishing position lto
Course and distance lto as well, could improve a chunk for that run.
25/1 ew a fifth 1 2 3 with the odds on poke, my kind of naughty bet.
Royal Aviation 66/1 today.
Lto punted 25/1 into 5/1 sp (could not believe the run lto, held up out the back) after the money was down.
It's quirky all right, however, Aviation has got pace, if allowed to use it?
It's a 66/1 poke, so not expected at all!
But, should it pop the lids, and or get promenent early, you might just see a very different run.
Don't need much on at those prices
each way each, and stick in a comb fcast with King Of Time (Appleby Buick 4/9 hotpot)
Cant see sp being near 25/1 & 66/1 but no matter, we BOG.

I hope you have a great Cheltenham week. I will look out for your tips.
Ideal be, 7f Lingers hood on, almost a certain future plunge horse, when wanted.
the Arturo, one more run for a mark, almost gt next run will be a mile or shorter.
Looks all over a Lingers 1m 2f hcap 'plot'
Kept on steadily under same pilot C&D last twice.
Track (follow) both next 3 runs.
certain be a 1 for both (hopefully at prices) over next couple months.
Back in the day, all judges/pro's/semi pros,viewed Chelters, the ego trip festival.
(myself included)
It's a separate entity, of course it is / was special, still want it to be 'special'
Hard, difficult, with the very obvious moral dilemna of current Global insanity.
Discipline / betting bank.
But, life? all to short, yep,we /us privileged.
Chelts banjaxxed by covid, and now, I speak for me only, but I know, most?
(all of us) feel a pang of guilt,and yet,life has to go on, and we all pray and hope.
Punted hard, and large, and punted micro stakes.
Once upon a time, I relayed the very real & true anecdote.
Yours truly had a very nice flat on Southsea seafront.
was in the now defunct Southsea casino every day
(small intimate, bang next to that swanky hotel) The Queens.
my flat 3 minutes stroll from both.
Roy the boy Brindley (ask him) not a clue, where he at in life now.
decent cherry hogs trainer, at Pompey dogs
(oh,for those Halcyon days of direct protein diet punting dynamite intel,from Roy)
Way back, Pre Roy's USA greyhound days, & pre Poker glory (Roy! not me)
Roy used to sit Southsea high street opp casino with begging bowl.
He really did, dreaming of a punting touch, to blast out of trouble.
No idea, and I dont Google, if he OK or not now, hope he is, was my kind of fella.
My flat was Lapthorne Hall, if anyone really wants to 'Google earth!'
50 yards from seashore, and for my sins, 10 yards from swanky wine bar.
I swear on my gals lives, Mr Vince Hilaire (ex Palace) had the best bar in Southsea,bang next to the Tote lbo (betting shop)
got on with Vince like a House on Fire,from football past.
both punters, both 'deejays'!
about the only two fellas, at that time, that always (in Southsea) always had a stylish bonnet on (hat) Vince loved a punt.And Vince, still deejay.
**** bent this Chelts, a winning festival.
Got 5,only 5 ante post bets,did post on forum at time bets struck (except Dr)
Nube Negra ew 16/1 Porticello ew 14/1 Energumene e/w 10/3.
and I am on Edwardstone ew all prices from a million! Fear Blue Lord.
Will back Third Time Lukki whatever Lukki runs in, and got a reet few fancy.
nothing under 10s inc also, another of Skeltons ex flat, form figs 1 1 the Dr, 20/1 excited!
Best Wishes All.

Roy Brindley lives in the Republic of Ireland now.
Met Mags, the card room Manageress, at The Merrion Poker Club in Dublin and promptly married her.
He was in Vegas about to play the WSOP a year or two later when she gave birth early, so he cancelled his entry & flew straight home.
On the 2004 or 2005 Ladbrokes Cruise I was on my own. Roy was the site pro for Ladbrokes at the time, & was on the cruise with Mags, & he had the top table in the restaurant, and invited me to dine with them every night, including the night he proposed to Mags. He was always very kind to me.
He still sends me punting tips - surprisingly his area of expertise these days is F1. His bets are very left-field, fair to say.
Think I first met him when he was training greyhounds.
